Cloud Platform Engineer

What You'll Do

Build: Cloud Infrastructure & Automation

• Design, provision and maintain cloud infrastructure across compute, storage, networking and security services, spanning both AWS and Azure.
• Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) to support consistent, repeatable environment provisioning.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.
• Implement and maintain GitOps-based deployment workflows using tools such as Helm, Flux, or ArgoCD.
• Build and support serverless and event-driven workloads (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, EventBridge/Event Grid, SQS/Service Bus) alongside the core Kubernetes platform.
• Integrate security scanning and policy checks into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps) to catch issues before deployment.
• Use AI-assisted tools (e.g., coding assistants, infrastructure copilots) in your own day-to-day work and help other developers adopt AI tooling effectively.
• Automate routine operational tasks to reduce manual toil and improve platform reliability.

Operate: Platform Reliability & Operations

• Monitor platform health, respond to incidents and take part in our on-call rotation, including occasional weekend coverage.
• Support disaster recovery efforts, including backup and restore testing, to validate platform resilience.
• Contribute to capacity planning, cost optimization and performance tuning across cloud environments.
• Operate and tune our EKS and AKS clusters, including autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler, KEDA/HPA) and cluster networking (CNI, ingress, workload identity).
• Help maintain security and compliance controls across the platform (access management, network security, audit evidence, policy-as-code) in line with financial services requirements.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Partner with product engineering teams to understand infrastructure needs and translate them into platform capabilities.
• Partner with the DevEx team to build self-service tooling and golden paths, drawing on their insight into developer needs and supporting their platform usage in turn.
• Help developers across the organization onboard to our platform tooling, troubleshoot issues, get support when needed and review their infrastructure-related PRs.
• Contribute to internal documentation, runbooks and best practices for the platform.

What You Bring

Required Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
• 4+ years of professional experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or a closely related technical domain.
• Hands-on experience with AWS and Azure.
• Hands-on experience running production workloads on Kubernetes, ideally EKS and/or AKS.
• Experience with cluster autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler) and workload autoscaling (KEDA or HPA).
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes networking (CNI plugins, ingress controllers) and workload identity (IRSA on EKS, Workload Identity on AKS).
• Experience with policy-as-code tools such as Kyverno or OPA.
• Practical experience with infrastructure-as-code tools, particularly Terraform.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling, particularly Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions.
• Experience with GitOps workflows and tools such as Helm, Flux, or ArgoCD for Kubernetes deployments.
• Solid scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, Bash, Go).
• Comfort operating in a regulated environment, with an understanding of security and compliance fundamentals (access control, least privilege, audit logging).
• Ability to work collaboratively across engineering teams with differing needs and priorities.
